OLYMPIA — Nobody in Washington won last week’s record Mega Millions jackpot, but eight people in the state won $250,000 each, and 21 won $10,000 each.

The Washington’s Lottery says more than $15 million in Mega Millions tickets were sold for Friday’s drawing.

The Olympian reports one of the $250,000 prize winners is David Matern of Tacoma. He says he plans to use the money to help children.
